Sold on Stories is an intermediate level ESL podcast focussed on acquiring communicative competence through idioms. We add concrete connotation to idiomatic expressions through exciting, original & engaging stories. Our stories assist students to acquire the ability to interact appropriately with others by knowing what to say, to whom, when, where, and how. Idioms form a large part of natural communication and therefore knowledge of idiomatic expressions leads to increased conversational fluency. Each episode focusses on a new/different idiom, which is then explained at the hand of a story for context.
